The motto of the Tyrell family: endless life; the emblem of the Tyrell family: golden rose; the current patriarch of the Tyrell family: none; the Tyrell family believes in religion: the seven gods.
Few plants in other big family emblems
The Tyrell family became the top aristocrat of Westeros in a relatively short time, ranking third from the bottom (two from the bottom). And unlike other families gaining power through war or a long history, the way the Tyrell family gains power can basically be described as "lying to win". Perhaps this is also the reason why the Tyrell family emblem is obviously different from other dignitaries in Westeros. Most of the emblems of others are animals or anthropomorphic images, while the Tyrell family uses plants...
Before introducing Tyrell, we must first introduce a family with a very long history: the gardener family. How long is the history of the gardener family? It is said that the first Patriarch was the son of the first leaders of the ancestors on the continent of Westeros, named: Gals Gardener. The family emblem of the gardener family is a cyan palm, which is used to commemorate his father, "the blue hand" Gals.

"Blue Hand" Gals appeared in the Dawn Era and was the leader who led the people across the Dorn Arm. In the legend, he taught people to cultivate, but because the time is too long, many legends about him are more like myths. If we use our history, his image is a bit like Shennong. His other characteristic is similar to the "smart" Rann that he wrote yesterday, that is, he has left countless heirs.
Gals Gardener is his eldest son. He established the gardener family with one hand, and has long occupied a large area of fertile land in the river bay area. This can be seen in the wealth of the Tyrell family in "Game of Thrones". The Gardener family was one of the seven kingdoms before Aegon’s conquest, the ruling family of the Bay of Rivers. Although the descendants of the ancestors with a proper history of the gardener family, during the reign of Merle I Gardener, the gardener family changed their beliefs to the seven gods.
The last Patriarch of the Gardener family, and the last King of the River Bay, was Menen Gardener IX. As mentioned in yesterday’s article, he resisted Aegon Targaryen together with the King of Kaiyan, Loren Lannister, as a result. Except for himself, all his heirs also died under the dragon flame, and the gardener family disappeared completely.
Harlan Tyrell surrenders
The gardener family disappeared, but the vast area of the river bend still needs someone to manage, so Aegon appointed Harlan Tyrell, who was then the head of the river bend king, to inherit the land of the gardener family, and the Tyrell family would be subordinate to the ministers. He became a top nobleman. This kind of experience should not be too much to lie down and win, right? Of course, it cannot be said that Harlan Tyrell did nothing, at least he did one thing: open the city gate and sacrifice the city. This is basically equivalent to a big boss wanting to buy your company. Your boss is not happy. As a result, the big boss bought all of your boss’s shares because you performed well when the big boss inspected, so he let You are the CEO.
The first in history, Tyrell is an Andal named Alister Tyrell, but he is not as good as his fellow Joffrey Leighton, and married a daughter-in-law. Then take down a kingdom. He just won the appreciation of the then King of the River Galvin Gardener V by virtue of his superb martial arts, and he was canonized as a knight. However, his descendants are more promising. Because of their outstanding work, they obtained the post of hereditary high court chief, which also laid the groundwork for them to "dedicate the city."
The legitimacy of the Tyrell family in the River Bend has been questioned, and they also claim to be descendants of the "green hands" Gals. In fact, if Tyrell insisted on saying this, he really couldn’t fault it. Back then, with the support of the Tyrell family, King Menen Gardener VI regained absolute power in the River Bend area, so King Menen VI Marry his daughter to the Tyrell family. So from a matrilineal point of view, the current Tyrell does have the blood of the "green hand" Gals, but the nobles in the bay area do not buy it.
In the history before the beginning of "Game of Thrones", there were only three well-known Tyrells, one was the ancestor Alister Tyrell; the other was to help King Menen VI regain power in the river bay area Osmon Tyrell of the United States; there is also the first Duke of Gaoting who "saved the city" and Haran Tyrell, the guardian of the south.
Mace Tyrell
During the "War of the Usurpers", the Tyrell family were staunch supporters of Targaryen. Unfortunately, the mad king Iris II died at the hands of the Kingslayer. The Targaryen bloodline eventually disappeared in Westeros. Mace Tyrell, Duke of Gauting, declares allegiance to Robert Baratheon. Robert accepted his allegiance and allowed him to continue to hold the title of Guardian of the South and Duke of Gaoting.
"Game of Thrones" Queen of Thorns
Speaking of Mace Tyrell, it is estimated that "Game of Thrones" fans may not have much impression. The reason is that Mace Tyrell is too inconspicuous under the background of his mother and daughter. Mays Tyrell should be most proud of having a scheming mother (and a poisonous tongue) and a beautiful and scheming daughter. Of course, the worst thing is to have a son who is not clear about Lan Li: Hundred Flower Knight.

In "Game of Thrones", Maes Tyrell's mother, Queen of Thorns, designed to poison Geoffrey Baratheon, which led to a bloody storm in King's Landing. Although she is very old, every time she plays, people can feel a strong aura. And Little Rose Margaret Tyrell is also very impressive. She has been married to three kings (including self-reliance as king): Renly Baratheon, Geoffrey Baratheon and Tor Man Baratheon also caused Toman to jump off the building for her.
Let me introduce you so much about the Tyrell family. The next issue may introduce Baratheon, or Greyjoy, and Tagrian will wait and collect information. I don’t know which one of these two families would like to see more.
